Hi, it's time for a new, long-overdue introduction!

I'm KEK-W, a UK-based writer of comics, films, TV and fiction.

In recent years I've written JUDGE DREDD, ROGUE TROOPER and TYRANNY REX for 2000AD, as well as the Historical Science Fantasy series THE ORDER, and the acclaimed DARK JUDGES: FALL OF DEADWORLD Dark Horror series featuring JUDGE DEATH. I've aldso written for AHOY Comics, Image Comics, Commando, Misty & Scream, Battle, Storyworlds, etc, etc in a variety of genres and style.

But I'm most proudest of the non-corporate prose books I've written. The most recent, published a couple days ago, is MEET THE SHRIVELWOODS, a humorous 40-ish page indy chapbook for those of you into Gothic Romance, The Addams Family, Dark Shadows and Vivian Standshall's Sir Henry at Rawlingson End.

Hope you enjoy.

So, if you missed out on it, here is my take on why fandom culture is important!

These are based on subjectivity and general observations. If you disagree with any of my blog posts, feel free to comment! I like engagement, and I'd love to have discussions and hear from other perspectives.

Although, it will be fun to do a blog post based on objective truth and research one day.

So, we’re back at the part of the collapse of western civilization where pathogens are going to play a massive role in how things work out. We’ve got both Influenza A and B making unseasonably long stays, and COVID is still very much alive and well. But, we’re also seeing another rash of Stupid Behavior from Certain Demographics. You know the people I’m talking about. They’re the ones that would…

What is Writersky Spotlight?

Writersky Spotlight is a place at the top of our homepage to show case our authors’ stories. 

Why?

At Writersky, we aim to provide the best reading and writing experience, while helping our authors reach more readers. Previously, our homepage shows only “New” stories and sometimes it washes out older stories. Older stories no longer get exposure which makes it hard for readers to discover them. Some of them are really great stories too! We thought, “Okay, we need a way to showcase some of these stories.” That’s why the Spotlight section was created.

Do we pay to get on Spotlight? How do we get listed?

No. Authors don’t get on spotlight by sponsoring or paying. Writersky wants to promote good story that are worth reading. We have an algorithm (not yet perfected) that helps determine if a story would be a good spotlight story. For now, we rotate the spotlight every week. 

Any tips on how we can improve our story to be on spotlight?

Yes! We want to promote good stories so stories with proper grammar, good story structure, properly sized book cover, good summaries, multiple chapters, etc, will tend to have a better chance to be showcased.

You can now leave a message on the author’s public profile page. You can use this page to (but not limited to):

- Ask them questions - Tell them how great they are - Tell them which books you like - Support them

Writersky uses Disqus(https://disqus.com/) as the commenting solution.

I am concerned Disqus will use my data...

Disqus allows you to opt-out using this link: https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1657951. 

Do I need to register with Disqus?

Not anymore! You can simply sign in with your Writersky account and you can comment away! More information can be found here: https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1104796-single-sign-on 

Can you let me know if someone left a comment on my story?

Of course! Writersky sends you an email when someone leaves you a comment. If you don’t want to receive email, however, simply go to you Profile > My Preferences, uncheck “Notify me when someone posted a new comment“ ,“Notify me when someone reply to an existing comment“ and then you will stop receiving comment notifications.

We reserve the right to remove comments - Comments that we find to be abusive, spammy, off-topic, or harassing may be removed.

We have just released 2.5 where we made a very small change on the mobile UI. The font bar on mobile/tablet is now minimized so now you have more reading space! ;)
